I lost a good friend to cancer. He was my sister’s long time boyfriend and tge father of her child. We had done martial arts together for years before his diagnosis.
One of our martial arts instructors was later diagnosed with leukaemia, and died a year later.
When I was 19, I had a 5 year old cousin get diagnosed with leukaemia. I remember the night he died. I went to get his younger brother and sister to keep them at my apartment for the night so they didn’t have to see him die. When I got there, his mom was crying and holding him in jer arms. My uncle sat next to her stoic with his arm around her. His tiny body was swollen from his kidneys failing and both of his eyes had deep black bruises around them. His breathing was so ragged and labored. I hugged him and his mom, and let my younger cousins to my car. My mom came over later that night to deliver the news. She held his sister, I hled his brother, and we all sat and cried.
I bought a chinchilla in 2007 with my first wife. She lost interest in him after 6 months or so, but he was my little buddy. He saw me through that divorce, several moves, getting my geology degree, meeting my current wife, and having my son. He was 9 years old when my son was born. We were a tiny, happy family until I noticed that he was starting to lose weight and there wasn’t as much pee in the corner of his cage. We took him to the vet to confirm my suspicion - his kidneys were failing. Over the next few months he went from a healthy 600g down to just 200g. He was so wobbly and missing easy jumps in his cage that we had to restrict him to a single level. My little fuzzy buddy lived 15 years. I took a few days off work and had him cremated. He now has a little table of honor with the remains of my 2nd chinchilla.
That’s a bit more pedantic than the old Norse were.
The subjects mentioned in my original comment.
My question to you is, how do you know that the Bible is true?
What is your source?
Don’t refer to the Bible, because that’s the claim, and therefore can’t also be the answer.
At what point did you decide to remove the dusty Bible from your coffee stand, and finally just put it in the trash?
During Army BCT. The only book allowed was one from your religion. I was able to read it cover to cover, and decided to put it in the trash where it belonged after several 1 v 1 conversations with the battalion chaplain.
At what point did you turn on CNN and say to yourself…
“You known what !? THIS Is my moral compass now!”
As opposed to the rape, murder, genocide, and slavery that god commands in the Bible?
I think the recessed plug face is superior. It keeps an object from falling across an improperly plugged in plug and shorting.
Lightning comes from Zeus and Thor. Obviously. /s
Of course they would. That’s why I quit using their software.
Yes, well… I’m kinda rural, and it’s not everyday I see people outside of my little town. None of us are Nazis, so opportunities don’t come along everyday.
Because Reddit banned me for posting “If you have the opportunity, you should always punch a Nazi”.
I think NBC “news” should be penalized for running this trash.
Fuck the ranchers. Cattle are a large part of climate change.
That sounds like a good way to have your entire workforce quit on you…
We’re about due for another asteroid impact.
Good fucking riddance.
I wish there was a hell for him to burn in.
I was already onboard. You don’t have to keep trying to sell it.
Kimchi.
